recently criticized Brownback for an "assault on women's health."

"In 2011, 5 bills limiting access to abortion services and affordable contraception were passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by Governor Brownback and the legislature spent over 25 public hours on these bills," MainStream Coalition board member Gail James said in a media advisory. "This divisive social agenda does not reflect the values or priorities of the majority of Kansans."

For his part, Brownback on Monday denied wanting to limit the rights of women.

"Having three very good, strong daughters that are doing quite well, I -- and I want them to have every opportunity and every possibility in this country and they're going to have it," he said.
